Fuller wash drum is now ok? (says Which)

[smarko]

For years I’ve been working to the rule which says don’t overload you washing machine drum.

Today I saw the Consumers Association (“Which?”) says it’s an urban myth that you shouldn’t fill a drum as much as possible! Surely this isn’t right?

Here is their video clip (start at 3 minutes) http://

What if the drum is so full that the clothes can’t even tumble? The machine he shows (Bosch WFF 1202) is rated a 5kg cottons capacity and the next generation Bosches with a larger drum are also rated at 5kg cottons capacity.

Isn’t the Consumers Association advice just plain wrong?

Explanation here.

Yes, it’s wrong if you overload a washing machine, any washing machine, you will have issues with poor wash performance, vibration and probably wreck the machine.
